    Ordered John Lewis broadband, received package but broadband was not on. I rang up and they said it may take upto a week. I was abit disappointed and read all the bad reviews on here but was surprised the broadband came on a few days later. Its faster and more reliable than now broadband. I think if you have had bt broadband before John lewis broadband will work aswell. Have given 4 stars all round.

    I cancelled my broadband because I was moving house, they informed me that I could send an email to give them the date and it would be cancelled or I could do it online. At the time I could get online as it seemed to be down. So I sent emails to tell them which day I was moving house. Since then they have harassed me with several demands for £72 which I do not owe and they insist I do. I can prove I moved house as I have travel details abroad and it shows I didn't even live in the house at the time of the invoice. However, it is impossible to contact and 0800 number from Europe and they do not respond to my emails and simply just keep sending the same demand. I have contacted their complaints and await a response. I would stay away from them, this is not John Lewis at it's best it is a cheap unworthy internet service provider that sends out knee-jerk money demands with no sense of customers being real people, just money machines.

    Worst decision ever to go with John Lewis as a provider. We are trapped in a contract for pretty non existent service. I’ve spent a fortune on mobile data as I have to hotspot to my phone for the slightest thing. I wish John Lewis would send themselves off to space on a one way rocket trip. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM

    AVOID JOHN LEWIS BROADBAND AT ALL COST - ITS PLUSNET masquerading as a reputable company. They say 24hrs to switch, Ive been waiting 2 months!!! they still cant give me a date when Ill be connected. JUST AVOID, customer support are just moth pieces, all talk no action, they're clueless. Absolute shambles!!! IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD

    I would have given 5 stars for reliability of the consistency of the poor broadband speed and exceptionally poor customer service. Assistant after assistant tries (I suspect the system is the problem rather than the people) to do something and the easy option seems to be to bump it to the next billing date/openreach engineer visit and hope they can squeeze another month's payment out in the meantime. It is extraordinarilyl bad - I don't do reviews but am at my wit's end now and in the absence of any resolution from them over 5 months - I just need to share to release the frustration of being stuck with them not providing a minimum guaranteed speed at all (OR will agree but to JLB black is white). It is baffling. One thing that can be said though, is that they thoroughly deserve the accolade of being the joint worst provider in Which? 's current broadband services. Really do believe the poor reviews - ordinarily I might say decide for yourself, but this time - spare yourself the hassle.

    I signed up for broadband on 10th March 2022. Late evening of 10th March I got a text saying there was a problem to contact you lines were closed so I had to wait until the next day. I was made to believe the matter was resolved until Wednesday 16th March when I got another message to say there was yet another problem. I again had to telephone where I was told my land line was a different sort to what JohnLewis use so my order had been cancelled and upon calling a new order was placed. Then today 19th March a further message relating to yet another problem… this isn’t looking good lines are not open on a weekend so I now have to wait until Monday to try and resolve the issue. It should be three strikes but we will see. When my service should be going live from signing up it is looking like the order keeps being cancelled and resigned from JohnLewis side. it is just constant delay and hassle I could do without.

    Do not bother! As other reviewers have mentioned the speed is absolutely awful, despite several calls and weeks of trying to get this resolved I have now given up. This is giving John Lewis itself a bad name

    I can only rate customer service and my overall dissatisfaction as John Lewis failed to deliver broadband service. I am a John Lewis fan but their broadband association significantly undermines their brand (as does their home insurance). Customer service was appalling and confusing as John Lewis and Plusnet do not seem to communicate with each other. They cancelled my order, promised a refund which I had to chase a month later, then sent me two cheques (only cashed one).

    You do not get the service you pay for and they are not interested in helping put it right. Our home is capable of getting wifi throughout the whole house, unfortunately john Lewis only provided for our living room and even then the speed was so poor.
    I can't emphasize enough, save yourself the headache and the cash, go elsewhere for your wifi. They just don't provide it and the customer service is shockingly bad and they blatantly lie to you. I wish I could give 0 stars.
